| ost Disliked Sports Figure Ever. For the non sports-fan, this could be just about anyone. Take my wife for instance, she hates every sport ever played.

| The Boss was disliked more than hockeys Dale Hunter, but not as much as footballs Dan Dierdorf... ... Rick Kotite's 4-28 record with the NY Jets made him very hatable with east coast fans. RK knocked off by baseball's Bonds, but would have won any inept contest held. |
| 3rd Rounders OJ (left) chops up Conrad Dobler * Pete Cristy shocks Bud Selig (poll prior to 2002 All-Star game however) * Jerry Jones over Bobby Valentine * Don King sacks Dan Dierdorf * Lawrence Phillips beats Ricky Henderson * Non athelete Jim Rome over nonsensical Scott Boras * Howard Eskin over fellow Philadelphian Lou Tilly * Michael "world is mine" Irvin defeats Barry Bonds |

Notes: You could probably tell a Philadelphia bias in our poll, with Pete Cristy, Al Meltzer, Matt Gieger, Lou Tilly, and Bruce Casella all making the venue. Speaking of Casella, he recently chimed in on his own cause: "Great stuff on the field of 64. I know you guys probably don't like me but that's ok. I don't like myself on many days, but I love to see creativity." Take care, Bruce Casella With humility like that, maybe we'll have to reconsider his status... Nope, that would be cheating... There is a horse racing angle here as well, with Kentucky's Mike Battaglia, and Pocono Downs' Shane Bacon (both announcers), and the arrogance of trainer Bob Baffert. |
| Our polsters were amoung the 1/2 of America that liked the man who "told it like it was." |
